last minute creamy chicken faux-fredo
This is one of those recipes where I hadn’t gone to the grocery store, and I had to figure out what to make for dinner. Leftover chicken tenders, and a staple box of spaghetti and the rest was history! My kids actually ask for this now! And as an added touch, I sometimes add bacon bits! I hope your family loves it as much as we do!
